Abstract –
Chapter One of Thomas L. Friedman’s new book opens with an anecdote, and the anecdote Thomas L. Friedman recounts is about Thomas L. Friedman. He is attending a play in a London theater. (He tells us the time of year, the name of his companion, and the play’s title, but I won’t bore you with them.) During intermission he rises to stretch his legs. Instantly, he is recognized, for in this wired, globalized, interconnected world, celebrity is often transnational. It can come zooming down the aisle of a West End theater all the way from Charlie Rose’s TV studio, where Friedman is a frequent guest, and from the New York Times newsroom, where he is a columnist. “Are you Mr. Friedman?” a fellow playgoer asks.
